Twin elevator servos:
If AILEVATOR is active, the AIL1 and AIL2 settings still only affect FLAPERON or AIL-DIFF servos, NOT the
elevator servos. (they would have the AIL3 and AIL4 settings.)

Be sure you understand what dropping ailerons will do when in AIRBRAKE/BUTTERFLY. Along with creating
an enormous amount of drag (desireble for spot landings), this also creates "wash-in", a higher angle of attack
where the ailerons are, and cncourages tip stalling. If you are using this for aerobatic performance and not
"sudden stops", consider raising the ailerons and dropping the flaps instead as shown in the diagram avobe.
